However, this might be confusing to the reader (like myself) because the article git-bisect-lk2009.txt quotes from the news release but the exact quote cannot be found in the full report. In addition to that, the link added in 2017 is also dead in 2023. Replace the reference to nist.gov with an version of the original NIST news release archived to the Wayback Machine. Include also an updated link to a live version of the full report.

I think it's a good match for this kind of link. The point is to cite a historical artifact, and if archive.org is the only way to get the artifact, then that's what we should do. Arguably it's what I should have done in d656218a83 in the first place. > --- a/Documentation/git-bisect-lk2009.txt > +++ b/Documentation/git-bisect-lk2009.txt > @@ -1347,7 +1347,7 @@ author to given a talk and for publishing this paper. > References > ---------- > > -- [[[1]]] https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/documents/director/planning/report02-3.pdf['The Economic Impacts of Inadequate Infratructure for Software Testing'.

Nist Planning Report 02-3], Executive Summary and Chapter 8. The link target given to archive.org is for http, not https. I guess it doesn't really matter as they archived the same content back then, and the actual browser connection to archive.org will be over https. And yours is more historically accurate. ;) -Peff ```
